I tried taking a 5 second exposure, but since I didn't have a tripod it turned out a bit blurry. Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients

poisonwaffle Mega Fish Posts: 1397 Kudos: 591 Registered: 11-Feb-2003	Question: how does one even get a camera to focus on the moon? I've tried many times and can't get it to focus at all. I've tried different apertures, exposures, ISOs, focal ranges, etc, etc... can't get anything. Do I need a telephoto lens so I can zoom way in? If so, I suppose I could build a telephoto lens... I built a macro lens, so a telephoto shouldn't be so hard o.O

poisonwaffle Mega Fish Posts: 1397 Kudos: 591 Registered: 11-Feb-2003	Tried that'n. Didn't work. Methinks my camera is silly! It's an old Sony Cybershot S-85... was a good camera back in it's heyday...

Adam Administrator Posts: 1090 Registered: 25-Jul-2000	Thats definitely your problem. Sony sucks. I used to have an F505V. What a waste of $2300.
